Calculate your net salary in Vaud
What lands in your account. Income tax is paid separately unless you are taxed at source.
Tax is an estimate before personal and professional deductions, so your real tax is usually lower. Cantonal figures use official 2025/2026 tables; social-insurance rates are 2026 employee shares. This is an estimate for planning, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions
Why does net salary differ between cantons?
Social-insurance deductions (AHV, ALV, pension) are identical nationwide. Income tax is not: each canton sets its own brackets and multiplier, and each commune adds its own rate, so take-home pay varies across Switzerland.
Are these tax figures exact?
They are estimates based on official 2025/2026 cantonal tax tables and standard social-insurance rates, before personal and professional deductions. For a binding figure, check your cantonal tax administration.
Can I pick my commune?
Yes. Choose your commune in the calculator to apply its exact Steuerfuss; otherwise the cantonal average is used.
